NFT: 7/16 - Yankees vs Red Sox: Let's play two!

How has Torreyes ended up playing every game in this series? He is killing us

This is major league baseball. He's had four shit plays in three games.

And I think Headcase gets that and has a play at home. Fuckin hell.

She played little league baseball as an 8 year old?

What makes her qualified to call MLB?

Women's softball?

And it's Jessica Mendoza ghost story time.

Well done ESPN.

.

Hope they don't send him back down.

When Hicks comes back something will happen

I love me some Toe tho. And so does Joe.

Agree, and I don't think they will. Although when Hicks gets back, it will be a little crowded out there.

and the best players will play if a playoff berth is on the line. At the rate Hicks is coming along, it may only be a brief return to Scranton. And Ellsbury will probably get hurt again in the meantime.

Could move to first?

Three weeks.

pitch, Tanaka has done well.

Bats are silent tonight. Last chance to get to Price.

No need to take pitches. He's Fucking awesome.

nice play by the CF.

Bradley. Judge smashed that.

Good play by Bradley.

and Bradley jumps to rob Judge of a 425 foot homer.

Unreal.

He didn't miss Bradley made a ridiculous catch

back at 3rd. Toe just not getting the job done. No doubt Headley makes that play and the one in the 6th.

Tip of the cap to Price. Looked like the Price of the early days on the Rays..

Amazing play by Bradley.

To anyone on that team I do not.

This broadcast looks like it sounds horrible

Chances Kimbrel screws up again??????????

yup ... oh, well, a split it is.

considering how awful the previous month had been.

because he only through sliders to Headley. Strange

Headley is Fucking awful. Looks like he's swinging a sledgehammer out there.

Good to get a split on the road. Especially when your best player was struggling.

Not mad at all. No ground lost. Nothing gained.

Perhaps they can win in Minneapolis and Seattle.

Tanaka' mistake went in the seats and Price's mistake got caught by Bradley. Would have loved to have won that game but will take the split.

as "Undecided."

This. I think in a lot of ways we steadied the ship a little bit this weekend. Take away the horrific luck in the 9th inning Friday (2 sawed off inf hits and an error) The Bullpen was on another planet this weekend. Judge didn't hit a lick, besides the huge HR yesterday Holliday did nothing, and we managed a split. Hopefully the offense get going in Minny a park we've always hit well in.

Why is Headley even pinch hitting for Torreyes it makes no sense both plays are not doing squat offensively

And meanwhile Choi was available to PH there. Listen the guy isn't Lou Gherig, but he has a way better chance to run into a Kimbrel FB than our worst everyday guy by far not to mention if we miraculously tie it, Choi would come in any way because they hit Gardy for Cooper. I've said it a lot this weekend, I love Joe but as bad as the team has been for a month Joe has been that bad himself with his mind boggling lineups and in game decisions at times.

Missed opportunity considering Tanaka pitched a fairly good game.

Or is there a really odd level of silence among the Yankee beats with Chase Headley. The guy is absolutely fucking terrible, and it seems Girardi never even faces a question about him.

I get the argument that "he's all they have right now", but the guy regularly hits in the 2/5 holes which is just inexcusable.

This isn't me trying to blame the media for the Yankees tough slide or anything g like that, because the problems clearly go much deeper than Headley. I just find it odd that the guy is so clearly mis-used and nobody seems to have anything to say about it.

Is Headley just THAT nice of a guy to the beats that they won't touch him?

He needs to be in the 7 or 8 spot. He's terrible.

And agree about Choi. Let him get up there and try for a shot to RF.

in hopes of spreading out the lineup and getting Headley going. He's been pretty good the last few weeks.

The nonstop Headley bashing is tiresome. He's a slightly below avg 3rd baseman. Yanks will upgrade the position when they can. Outside oe batting Headley down in the order, something the Yanks have done for a good chunk of the season, there's little that can be done. Stop the presses, the Yanks have a below average hitter in the lineup. The horror.

Was masterful last night. He got a little help from the ump. but I was amazed the Yankees got any hits at all after the first inning.

This isn't a good reason place a guy in the 2-hole (or 5-hole) who has an OPS just over .700 in his almost 2k at-bats as a NYY. It isn't a good reason to do it one time, but doing it pretty consistently over the course of about 6 weeks is mind-numbing.

There would be a lot less complaining about Headley if his usage was appropriate. It's less about Headley than it is about Girardi at this point.

I don't remember it being that often.

Whatever. You can't really hide bat hitters anyway. Best way to hide Headley is to replace him. If the kid didn't get hurt he'd be up by now. Bad luck.

2 through 5 holes. Add 15 more if you expand to 2-6.

Zero times in the 9 spot.

he was red hot in April. And he hasn't been terrible the last few weeks if memory serves.

You wanna get on Giradi have at it. I just don't get too worked up over lineups like others do.

at the dish the last two weeks. But before that he was dogshit since the end of April. Plus he's already got more errors this season than all of last season - in half the games. He's a liability.
